Designed to reach a wider audience than ever before, the new mobile-first GeoGalleries experience makes it easier for collectors to discover, view, and purchase your artwork as museum-quality giclée prints, on any device.
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the all-new GeoGalleries, built to help artists in theFinerWorks community sell more prints and expand their reach. The updated platform gives every artist their own dedicated GeoGalleries site, while also featuring their work in the main GeoGalleries marketplace for increased visibility.
Best of all, this service is free for existing FinerWorks customers with an active program.
A paid option will be introduced later for non-FinerWorks artists. Current GeoGalleries users will be grandfathered in at no cost, with no changes to their existingaccount or status.
We encourage all existing GeoGalleries members to log in to the FinerWorks dashboard and update their profile to take full advantage of the new platform. Over the coming weeks, we’ll continue refining the site with updates and improvements as we identify bugs and enhance performance.
We are putting the finishing touches on the new GeoGalleries. While there are still a few “rough edges” we’re smoothing out, we are confident that this evolution will provide the professional platform your art deserves.
Managed by FinerWorks
To provide a more seamless experience, FinerWorks will now fully manage and own the GeoGalleries platform. By bringing the management 100% under the FinerWorks roof, we can ensure a tighter integration between your gallery and our production fulfillment. This means faster updates, more reliable support, and a direct line from your storefront to our printing facility.
Designed for a Mobile-First World
You may notice a significant change in how the site looks and feels. We’ve designed the new GeoGalleries with a mobile-first philosophy.
Today, the majority of web traffic happens on mobile devices. Potential buyers are more likely to discover your art while browsing sites on their phones. Our new design ensures that your images load quickly and look stunning on small screens, with intuitive navigation that makes “buying on the go” easier than ever.
Your Art, Your Brand: Personalized Subdomains
While the main geogalleries.com site will still feature a central gallery with searchable categories, our primary focus has shifted. We want to empower you to build your own brand.
The real power of the new GeoGalleries is the ability to have your own dedicated site via a personalized subdomain. Instead of just being a profile in a sea of other artists, you can direct your fans to a professional, branded URL.
Example: Instead of a generic link, your shop would be located at
yourusername.geogalleries.com.
Curating a High-Quality Marketplace
GeoGalleries is a destination for art collectors. To maintain the integrity of the platform, we are implementing stricter curation standards.
We want to ensure that the public-facing gallery represents professional-grade photography and art. While we all love a cute photo of a pet sleeping on the couch, that isn’t what the general GeoGalleries audience is looking to purchase. By maintaining high quality, we enhance the perception of every artist on the site.
Sustainability and Membership Plans
As GeoGalleries grows, the costs of hosting high-resolution imagery and maintaining a global marketplace grow with it. To ensure we can keep the lights on and continue innovating, we are introducing a new membership structure:
- Existing Customer Plan (FREE): If you are an existing FinerWorks customer, you will be grandfathered into a free membership. This is our way of saying thank you for your continued loyalty.
- The Paid Plan ($10/mo): All new signups will be placed on our Paid Membership plan, starting at $10 per month. This ensures that every new artist joining the platform is committed to growing their business alongside us.

Only lower resolution web versions of the images are shown. These contain a watermark which provides some protection. If you are too worried that people will copy your web viewable images, we recommend not participating in the gallery experience.
